Writing STL iterators, views, and containers is surprisingly hard. There are
|
||
a lot of things that can subtly go wrong. It is also very tedious, which of
|
||
course makes it error-prone.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Iterators have numerous typedefs and operations, even though all the operations
|
||
of a given iterator can be implemented in terms of at most four operations
|
||
(and usually only three). Writing all the other operations yields very similar-looking
|
||
code that is hard to review, and all but requires that you write full-coverage
|
||
tests for each iterator.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Writing view types like those found in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ranges</span></code>
|
||
is also laborious, considering that most of each view type's API can be derived
|
||
from <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">begin</span><span class="special">()</span></code>
|
||
and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">end</span><span class="special">()</span></code>.
|
||
C++20 has a template that does exactly this, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">ranges</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">view_interface</span></code>;
|
||
Boost.STLInterfaces provides a pre-C++20-friendly implementation.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Most daunting of all is the task of writing a type or template that meets the
|
||
container requirements in the standard. Boost.STLInterfaces provides another
|
||
template called <code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/stl_interfaces/v1/sequ_1_3_40_11_2_5_1_1_1_1.html" title="Struct template sequence_container_interface">sequence_container_interface</a></code>
|
||
that reduces the implementation and testing burden dramatically.

|
||
are provided (C++20 provides <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">view_interface</span></code>).
|
||
These are constrained templates using C++20 concepts. These are in the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">stl_interfaces</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">v2</span></code> namespace, and are considered experimental,
|
||
because at the time of this writing, no C++20-conforming compiler exists.

Here is an example of the iterator portion of the library. Let's say that we
|
||
wanted to make a random access iterator that represents a string of arbitrary
|
||
length constructed by repeating a shorter string. Let's call this iterator
|
||
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">repeated_chars_iterator</span></code>. Here
|
||
it is in action:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="identifier">repeated_chars_iterator</span> <span class="identifier">first</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"foo"</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">3</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">0</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// 3 is the length of "foo", 0 is this iterator's position.</span>
|
||
<span class="identifier">repeated_chars_iterator</span> <span class="identifier">last</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="string">"foo"</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">3</span><span class="special">,</span> <span class="number">7</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">// Same as above, but now the iterator's position is 7.</span>
|
||
<span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">string</span> <span class="identifier">result</span><span class="special">;</span>
|
||

|
||
<span class="identifier">assert</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">result</span> <span class="special">==</span> <span class="string">"foofoof"</span><span class="special">);</span>

There's nothing in the standard library that gets us that kind of behavior,

so we have to write it. This library seeks to turn what we write from this:

Ah, that's better. Both of these definitions for <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">repeated_chars_iterator</span></code>
|
||
have the same semantics and performance profile. It's just a lot less code
|
||
to write the second one, and writing the second one is more novice-friendly.
